Cache items gone when re-running script about go-cache HOT 8 CLOSED

It does work however if I do a Get() right after a Set(), so I know it is working, it is just when I run my script again it is not there

from go-cache.

I modified your example so that I could run it, and it works as expected:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/patrickmn/go-cache"
	"log"
	"time"
)

type Session struct{
	foo string
}

func (s *Session) Create() *Session {
	return s
}

func main() {
	iteration := 1
	c := cache.New(0, 10*time.Minute)
	session := &Session{}

	// Not set? Set it
	if _, found := c.Get(fmt.Sprintf("mykey-%d", iteration)); found == false {
		log.Println("DEBUG: SESSION: NOT FOUND")
		session = session.Create()
		c.Set(fmt.Sprintf("mykey-%d", iteration), session, cache.NoExpiration)
	}

	if sess, found := c.Get(fmt.Sprintf("mykey-%d", iteration)); found {
		log.Println("DEBUG: FOUND!")
		session = sess.(*Session)
	}
}

Output:

2019/02/07 20:11:37 DEBUG: SESSION: NOT FOUND
2019/02/07 20:11:37 DEBUG: FOUND!

If what you mean is that you are terminating the process and then running it again, then: go-cache is memory-only, and so will disappear when the process exits. If you want disk persistence, you should save and then load the cache using c.SaveFile(fname string) and c.LoadFile(fname string), or, ideally, use the cache in a long-lived process.

Yes that is the issue! Your docu says that is deprecated though, so can you give me a working example of doing it that way? Great library BTW!

from go-cache.

Sure:

items := c.Items()
// serialize using encoding/gob, encoding/json or similar, and write to file

next time:

// deserialize the gob/json file into items
c := c.NewFrom(exp, ci, items)

The deprecated methods basically do exactly this using encoding/gob for serialization/deserialization. Even though the methods are deprecated I'm not likely to ever remove them; they just might not work with certain non-gob.Register()'ed types.

Thank you :) Glad you like it!

So do I need to do c.Set and then c.SaveFile?

Can you give me an end to end example of it working with SaveFile and LoadFile? It is not working for me

from go-cache.

@patrickmn I cannot get this to work

from go-cache.

Can you give me an end to end example of it working with SaveFile and LoadFile? It is not working for me

you need to register gob name use gob.Register(), if not, when you use c.LoadFile() will get error like this gob: name not registered for interface: "xxxx".
